Вроде как 5 штук. Смотрится конечно удивительно.
День добрый!
Вот, что сказал некий Гюнтер Т.:

New production Me262
Wed Dec 4 00:40:30 2002
142.161.30.87
I have to agree with Artie Bob on this issue. Herbert Tischler, the man who started the Me262 project in 1993 was orginally trained in the late 1930's as an airframe constructor at Henschel. His subsequent training as a Luftwaffe officer was cut short by the end of WWII.
The 5 Me262 new production aircraft are replicas of the originals with the exception of the engines, which are 1950's vintage General Electric J85's. As has been stated previously, anyone who expects to fly a 262 and stay alive using the original Jumo 004's is either really brave or really stupid.
Herr Tischler began the construction of the new 262's by completely disassembling 2 Me262's which had been in storage in the U.S. These served as templates for the project as all airframe parts were built using them. The J85 engines produce about 15-20 percent more thrust than a Jumo 004 and are about 40 percent lighter. The way to solve the weight problem was to build exact duplicates of the Jumo casing around the J85. The engines now appear to be actual Jumo's and the aircraft weight very close to the original. In order to achieve "scale" performance characteristics the 262's are flown at 80 - 85 percent power settings when flying at full power.
There should be no contention about Messerschmitt's agreement to allow the use of original airframe numbers on these 262's as they are true replicas. Flugwerk AG in Germany has done the same thing with the FW190 A8 which is a beautiful airplane powered by the 1800 HP Asch radial engine.
These types of projects will keep people interested in Luftwaffe aircraft for many years. The originals are far to valuable and fragile for this role.
